Our Agroecology, Our Future | A #Documentary about Cuba

[A #video about #Cuba, hosted on the #PeerTube server #CuddlyTube.]

For more than 30 years, Cuba has been transforming its agrifood system, resulting in a global reference for agroecology scientists, farmers and activists. Despite their success, Cuba faces chronic challenges in the availability and accessibility of food.

Our Agroecology, Our Future explores the unleashed potential of agroecology, through the voices of farmers and specialists. These leaders make the case for why agroecology is the path for Cuba to achieve true food security and #FoodSovereignty. As the country’s economic crisis deepens, resources become scarce and prices of imported goods increase, #agroecology in Cuba is now more important than ever.

This documentary was co-produced by CAI and Kandela Productions in collaboration with the #BellyOfTheBeast.

Garlic planted. Sun went down early again. Outrageous.

A recently cultivated area with a string stretched across it for guidance and a broken rake poking marker holes in it. A small bowl of garlic bulbs sits in the dirt.

Same area, but now planted with 5 rows of garlic, 8 cm deep and raked over. Four sticks mark the corners and a small path of soil has been trampled around the edges.

Same bed at last light, now covered with some barn sweepings consisting mostly of hay, dirt and mouse droppings.

The Cuban Paradox
The island, like any territory, is rich in nuances.

Bringing Cuban agroecology to the next level

from #Rooted in agroecology and food sovereignty
July 15, 2024 | Leidy Casimiro et al. | Issue 1 Policies for Agroecology

Over the past three decades, the #Cuban people have made great strides in scaling out and up the practice, science and movement of #agroecology. This is often celebrated as an example. However, the adoption and durability of agroecology have been uneven across space and time. Recent policy reforms are laying the groundwork for the greater spread of agroecology across the entire food system on the path to #FoodSovereignty.

"Watchdog rules Red Tractor exaggerated its environmental standards"

Time to wake up that thing. Actually well late for it.

After planting potatoes this year and then digging them up and bending over an extra 8192 times to pick out all the steel, plastic, bricks, concrete and rocks, it's a LOT better this year.

Hit only one brick. Last year it was all bumps!

Also went and leveled some of the mess under the tree from the failed experiment in agroforestry and then did a surface pass through the orchard to break up the shallow Virginia creeper roots, which worked wonderfully - without bothering the deep apple tree roots at all.

As usual, a polite reminder: Don't fucking #Plasticulture, motherfuckers. That shit stays in the ground long after you're dead. :blobcattableflip:

#Tractor #Iseki #Freza #Rotavator #Rototiller #Farming #Homestead #Gardening

A blue rotavator/rototiller sitting in a barn along with some junk and firewood. It has a PTO input shaft and a three point hitch. Many curved tines lurk underneath its steel skirt.

The rotavator at work, having done one row of perfectly level fluffy soil, except there is a bump in it where it hit a buried brick. The row is somewhat crooked because someone can't steer their tractor straight.

The garden with the one cultivated row on the right and some leveling work on the left.

A small pile of disintegrating plastic trash in black and formerly transparent, a crushed beer can and some rocks.

Shocking!

Masked Israeli settler militias assaulted an elderly Palestinian woman this morning during the olive harvest season in the town of Turmus Ayya, northeast of Ramallah. The woman lost consciousness as a result of the attack.
